The Oculus team at Facebook is helping more people around the world come together and connect through world-class VR hardware and software. With global departments dedicated to VR research, computer vision, haptics, social interaction, and more, Oculus is committed to driving the state of the art forward through relentless innovation. VR’s potential to change the world is immense—and we’re just getting started.
Our Zurich Core Tech team explores, develops, and delivers new cutting-edge technologies that serve as the foundation of current and future Oculus products. From mixed reality and human interaction to natural inputs and beyond, Core Tech is focused on taking new technologies from early concept to the product level while iterating, prototyping, and realizing the human value and new experiences they open up.
As an Engineering Manager in Core Tech you will lead, manage, inspire, and grow a diverse team responsible for ensuring we have outstanding calibration capabilities for all phases of research, design, engineering, and productization. You will collaborate with experts across Facebook (e.g. eye/face/hand/body/controller/position tracking) to design calibration algorithms for next-generation VR/AR platforms. With your leadership, calibration will be a competitive advantage for Oculus and Facebook.
